What do you think? I'd love a mini window like you get in iTunes

Anyone else like this idea?

Have you tried setting one up with perspectives?

I have been thinking about a mini window called "Done" that just shows what I did for the day.

Inspired by the "mini window" perspective that appeared in one of Ethan's videos, I made my own a while back. Now I actually have several pared-down windows showing very specific things that I can keep visible while working in other apps.

@Zoolok: is there something special in your proposal that can't be accomplished with a customized perspective?

Not really - I am only just getting into the OF thing, having held of to the last minute for the discount! What I envisaged was maybe something like a window which shows either Due Today, @Work or whatever - so, yes perpectives could do this. If it would scroll, a bit like in iCalViewer ... even better (I find the sync with iCal a bit flaky ... I have three machines sharing calendars and keep ending up with OF getting a set of duplicates in @Inbox!). Finally an "always o top, but a bit see through" woud help ... although I could use "Afloat" for this.

So... maybe I don't need the MiniWindow after all!
Thanks for the advice!

maybe that approach is what you are looking for ;)

I played around with this and you can easily create a mini window that can be popped up with only things you need.

I did a few:
- Daily ToDo
- Waiting For
- Agenda (all contexts grouped by Agenda)

I must say, OmniFocus really impressed me this weekend as I got into it. I even created a Perspective of all the things I can at work (no Mac/OmniFocus) so I can quickly email it as a PDF to myself weekly.
